Blue October - Fear Lyrics






All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Is holding me down

So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadows see through me

'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk

And now fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up

I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
And I'm staring through the I-don't-care
It's staring back at me

The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
And set myself free

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadows see through me

'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk

And now fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up

I'm moving on
Oh, God, just move on

Today
I don't have to fall apart
And I don't have to be afraid
Get back up
Get up, up

Fear, fear, away
No, no longer

Now fear, fear in itself
Can use you up
It breaks you down
You're never enough
I used to fall

Breathe
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask Him to help you carry on

  1. J.... A....

    Thank you for this uplifting song. Much love

  2. S.... W....

    I don't know how I've never heard this song before!
    This song feels like it was meant for me to hear. My PTSD has been nothing but a battle with fear. And I've faught so hard to feel safe and not let it control me. I wish I could just hug him, feel his energy and say THANK YOU!

  3. A.... J....

    I lost both my uncle's my aunt and bro got locked up all at once

  4. M.... A....

    Dear Lord I wish this song would play on loud speakers throughout the world for all to feel. #fear

  5. S.... M....

    it's him,his voice is incredible,listen to the accoustic version,,you'll see/hear/feel.

  6. J.... S....

    5 years clean and have been listening to these guys for YEARS ... I hope every single person who gave a thumbs down , stubs ALL of thier toes , or falls down thier stairs and hits their head on every step

  7. H.... 1....

  10. D.... M....

    Love this

  11. J.... P....

    This song really helps me in my day to day life. I have a lot of medical issues and just resently I found out my kidneys or functioning @20%. So I'm gonna need dialysis and soon a new kidney. On top of that I just became a new father. My depression runs depper now more then ever,but with God on my side and this song, it really helps me look to the better side. I'm so hopeful not only for my future but also my daughter's future and seeing her grow. Never give up or give in we can do it. We can make it in this life.

  12. J.... G....

    I thought my entire life lost its new-found purpose after being let go by the woman I wanted to build a family with. This song saved me, even though the song isn't entirely of a romance nature. I now fill my emptiness with thoughts of her well-being. I can now earnestly wish for her well-being, and I hope that she's happier. I still get teary-eyed over this song. Thank you Blue October.

  13. R.... L....

    I've listened to this song a thousand times and it hits me in the emotions every single time.

  28. C.... ....

    Did you see the waves when he cried so deeply to get back up. Even they got up when he cried that out. Something I always noticed in this video. Powerful.

  29. v.... ....

    I watch this and just think... how many lives has he saved with this message? How many people are alive because of his words, his passion, his honesty? Justin, never stop. The world needs you and your music. 🎶💗🎶

  30. P.... W....

    Why are you people so broken and weak?

  31. I.... P....

    I met Justin! It was incredible... I needed to do that!..

  32. I.... P....

  34. C.... W....

  35. B.... G....

    Life struggles have made Justin who he is today!! AMAZING...

  36. T.... R....

    I've just found "My song" !!!! ❤❤❤

  37. L.... R....

    😭 he gets it ... God he just gets it

  38. G.... M....

    Its amazing how me and him lived a similar life I'm bipolar and was very doubtful of myself I've progressed so much it makes me look back and know that anything is possible and for anyone out there reading this and going through it like I and many others have know there is always a path forward all you have to do is move on.

  39. G.... M....

    It's like seeing someone at the top and them walk away you just feel happy and sad at the same time I'm glad you made it to the finish line blue october

  40. L.... C....

    Very special!!!!

  41. B.... D....

    It was a blessing to be introduced to this music by my sister.  I had the opportunity to meet Justin after the show in SD and have his CD signed and discuss recovery. Today, I am just over 21 years clean and sober. Music like this puts the troubles we face with depression and addiction into perspective.

  42. S.... ....

    It's so emotional and so beautiful

  43. E.... W....

    this song saved me from suicide. after 3 suicide attempts ive realized that my family needs me and this song has really made me want to get back up and not fall

    E.... W....

    Always remember that if you give up today, then surviving all that other bullshit was for nothing 👍🏻

  44. w.... ....

    I love the lyric "I used to fall and now I get back up." The epitome of what recovery looks like where it's not that mistakes wont still be made.

  45. J.... R....

    Thank you 🙌

  46. C.... K....

    All the feels. I am currently struggling with depression and anxiety. Struggling not to cut. Not to fall apart!!!

  47. R.... G....

    I've been struggling with anxiety and emotional distress for a long time. This song always makes me cy and helps me moving on. Thank you, Justin.

  48. M.... D....

    For me chester bennington and Justin furstenfeld are the best guys when the theme is depression and sadness...
    They really can reach the botton of a heart and teach a Lot for everyone out there

    M.... D....

    Agreed, but I'd add chris cornell to that list

    M.... D....

    @Esaw Franco good one mate 👍🏻

  49. D.... R....

    One of my favorites ❤️

  50. A.... C....

    Kill it with love

    Let go and let God. Easier said than done, but seek a higher power, have patience, have faith, and surrender doing things your way and seek a power greater than yourself.

  58. L.... V....

  75. T.... V....

    I hear your message brother shine your light😌

  76. J.... E....

    Those shadows he speaks of,,,, Regardless if they created through the mind. 4 myself they are very real and I literally half to clear myself on a regular basis. I always feel better mentally and emotionally when I take my power back via mind/imagination and think of anything at all that lifts you. Nature memories....If you don't have any good memories at the moment just make some up that soothes the body/mind. Like putting a gentle giggling smile throughout ur entire being. When I do achieve the better "feels likes" I can literally watch the shadows clear from my head. Anger hate blame judgement control and power are all links to whatever those shadows really are. Possibly a thought that other's have been thinking starts it off¿ I'm not SurE. I just know when I can put my mind and body in a comfortable place it's like everything is well.
    The momentum of mind
    To much contrast and not enough happiness created is a slow kill...... That's why I gotta chose better thinking thoughts*
    Abraham says
    "Life experience teaches"
    This is TruE atleast for me. I'm not sure what to do with the emotions of fear just yet. 1 foot infront of the other and know that I'm not alone *

  77. G.... G....

    I love this song.It's like a part of me.

  78. T.... B....

    I still struggle everyday and I knows I'm not alone goin threw this 😔😔❤mental illness take my life over and it's hard to get it back but I'm tryin

  79. T.... B....

    My friend told me about this song yesterday so I listened to it I love it because I'm fighting the depression and anxiety demon since I was 6 years old that's 20 years now I'm 26

  80. M.... H....

    This song is phenomenal. There are a lot of songs that give me chills or make me cry, but usually those feelings fade away the more I listen to them. But the more I listen to this song, the more chills I get, the more I want to cry, and the more I want to scream my heart out. This is the most amazing and powerful song ever written and it’s hard to write this without breaking down. Fear is the Devil and it will do anything to consume you. But it can be conquered!!! It really can!! Never EVER lose hope! Thank you, Justin!

  81. T.... M....

    .miss you angu Lui.. Rip

  82. N.... E....

  85. S.... P....

    My favorite Band!!! This is such a beautiful song and it is so inspirational.

  86. M.... H....

    This song made me weep. Everything from the video to his voice to the lyrics to the music. Just.. perfect. I was in a very dark place.

  87. C.... C....

    This song brings me to tears. I have been through a lot since I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I have realized that smoking marijuana has been like a trigger for every manic or depressive episode. Knowing that he's clean and feeling his emotions really help me when I remember everything I have been through. They were very dark moments and through sobriety I finally get to begin my life. God bless them. They have great music with real content.

  88. C.... S....

    Duet with Peter Gabriel please. 🙏

  89. T.... J....

    One blessed powerful gorgeous tune here. Love it. So I myself have Devoted to have this song played everyday “must do” along with prayers. For fear is what I live with what I’ve lost🙏. 💔💜.

  90. L.... F....

    I am forever grateful for this song. It has saved me from myself. I've been struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide and I've recently found this song and I have listened to it over a thousand times now... every time I listen to it I cry a little less, and believe a little more... I will never forget how his words touched me. I am forever indebted to Blue October for helping me through this extremely tough spot in my life. Giving me the strength to fight even harder for myself and my daughter. Thank you Blue October. You've helped my daughter keep her mother alive and fighting for her life. ❤
